Personal news: extremely excited to be (re)joining the BBC as its first ever full-time Cyber Security Specialist. Leaving Sky News in a couple of weeks after 5 brilliant years. Looking forward to investigating cyber issues for the World Service and other outlets. Start late Oct!

Lukwesa Burak rather embarrassingly questioned a MP whose husband died less than a month ago over why they weren't attending the tory conference this afternoon.

What was the MPs response?

That she wasn't at the conference because her husband had died 4 weeks ago.
Rather undermines the whole interview when it ends with such a comment, especially considering the tone of voice that Lukwesa had been using.
Happened around 16:10.

If they are available for media interviews but not available to attend the conference I don't think that's a reasonable question. It's not as if they doorstepped somebody who was grieving in private and demanded an explanation.

How long has Martin Stanford been presenting on BBC World for? That was the first time I saw him last night on the overnight shift.

For about for the last 2-3 weeks, AFAIK. He's been covering for Mike Embley on the overnight shift.

About 2 weeks, but only 2 nights per week, I think.

Mike is back from leave now.
